The Moon : Great Escape

After leaving the pizza parlour which I now know the name of as "Bistro el Cazo", very Mexican for a Korea based beanery, owned by a Korean, but it did more than it's job in serving such immense cuisine.

Aside from the best pizza I've ever tasted in my entire life, Ian brought us a new dessert that he was working on, allowing us to be the first ones to relish a yet again outstanding dish.

I thank him a couple of times and he even offered a discount for me if I ever come back. I nearly tear up right in front of him.

I left him and Donghyuck to catch up a little bit and after a while Ian decided kicked us out, telling us to enjoy the night and to be safe. Whatever he meant by that, I know it sounded more than just a "be safe because it's already late outside" because he sure does act too American sometimes. Whatever floats his boat, that's on him.

"He's fond of you." Donghyuck commented as we walked quietly.

"Oh, I know, I kinda have the charm for boys." I flip my hair in a frolic way, adding a little bit of sass to my words.

"The modesty, it's so flattering." His said wryly. I watch as he roll his eyes at me, a tinge of smile playing on his lips.

"What can I say? I was born this way."

"Hello? What was that? Sorry couldn't hear you for a sec."

"Heyyy. You're mean," I fake pouted. I watch as he continue on taking long strides completely ignoring me, "wait for me!" I catch up to him and he's grinning when he looked at me.

God, he's so beautiful.

He cleared his throat, and I snapped my head away. I really should stop getting too enthralled by him. I don't want him to think I'm some crazy fan that drools over him all the time. Yes, he's that good looking but I at least have some decency left for myself. My parents should be proud.

"Why do we keep on walking and why don't I ever know where we're going?" I asked him. Seriously, we've been walking for more than fifteen minutes and I'm pretty sure we're on the verge of burning everything we ate at Ian's.

"I would tell you, you ask so many questions but I'm a nice boy so I will just tell you to shut that little mouth of yours and just wait."

"What's that nice boy thing you were saying? Oh, or maybe you were referring to someone else?" I made a thinking face, I sure will not shut up. I'm good at annoying people just as much as they're good at annoying me. It's a mutual thing but it's occurence is rare.

I was caught off guard when he locked his arms around my neck and playfully head-locked me.

So, am I one of his male buddies now? Because the last time I checked you just don't head lock a girl as if she's a male specie. Well, that's what I thought anyway.

He was laughing his heart out as I struggle.

I made choking sounds, hitting him on the chest, his grip wasn't tight but I acted like it is. I wriggle around, fighting to break away from his grasp when he suddenly slipped his arm off.

It happened so briskly. I held onto his shoulders for support, and I felt his arm wrap around my waist almost like a reflex. My heart is pumping rapidly still in a bit of schock from the previous incident. Or is it really because of that?

His eyes are wide, his lips parting and I feel his warm breath fan over my face. He looked at me, as if asking I was okay. My heart warmed at the silent gesture.

"Shit, you scared me." He mumbled under his breath. His hand gripped my waist tighter and I was left speechless as I feel his fingers dig into the fabric of shirt and through my skin, leaving burning sensations through out my body.
